✦ Synopsis


The group-selective aldolization/desymmetrization of meso dialdehyde 5 with a borylenolate derived from Npropionylbornanesultam ent-2 yields very efficiently lactols 6 with simultaneous generation of four stereogenic centers. Oxidation (6 ---) 7) followed by saponification of the sultam moiety (7 --) 4) provided the Prelog-Djerassi lactonic acid 4 in a three step sequence in 61-71% overall yield.
